I would have to say I am one of the lucky ones. My family, in general, are extremely supportive in wearing the kilt. My wife would rather I wear one when we go out over me not. My 16 year old step-kid likes two of my plaids (the Pride of Scotland fashion sett and the Black Stewart). My mom has asked me to help get my father in a kilt (he's a history teacher a HS with a "Scottish Rebel" as the mascot....MacLeod of Lewis).

The only problems in the family are my paternal grandmother and my sister. My sister because she like a number of you gent's wives. Has to be the center of attention....even at my paternal grandparent's 50th. The paternal grandmother thinks the kilts should be reserved for Scottish events (Games, Burns Dinner, et al).

The fun part, though, is work. I live in the Deep South. Not to flexible of an environment. But, at work, everyone is so used to my kilts you can tell the new hires by the way they double-take. It's funny as all heck.
